We are nine behind mate.

Effectively 8 down. It's going to be tight.

It's also another example of the batsmen not giving the bowlers a rest. And they are a bowler down. You need to bat more than 50 or 60 overs to have them rested or they will struggle and possibly get injured

Effectively 8 down. It's going to be tight.

Atkinson can bat and we still have Brook out there.

They should be looking at another 50 on the board at least but it’s very tough out there.

You win Charro

The best England have looked is attacking the Indian bowlers. Playing traditional cricket on this pitch looks tricky.

Also, England gave India far too many easy runs.

caught. ambitious. 8 down.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Poor poor dismissal

If England can somehow manage to get to 300 here, that would be a huge plus for them in this game. At the moment, the match is very much in the balance.

Can someone please explain what the purpose of Overton is.

He can't bat and can't bowl.

2nd innings is all down to Atkinson .

Bowlers? We've only got one.
Woakes injured.
Overton crap
Tongue ridiculously erratic
Atkinson good.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Strange 15 minutes from Brook. Didn't try any shots and then got out anyway

 

[Rita_Poon]

Would have been nice to have been gifted another 30 runs for free.

Opportunity spurned. Lets see what the bowlers can do in an hour here.
